Eight19 is a developer and manufacturer of third generation solar cells based on printed plastic.
Originating from technology initially developed at Cambridge University, these flexible, robust, lightweight solar modules benefit from high-speed manufacturing and low fabrication costs. Conventional solar technology is most often found in on-grid applications where the solar energy supplements existing electricity supplies. But for people without electricity, so called off-grid consumers, the availability of electricity is not merely advantageous but often transformational to their lives, if it is affordable.Eight19 has developed IndiGo, a complementary smart power technology that allows solar power to be sold as a service, providing mobile phone charging and high quality lighting for less money than individuals presently spend on other forms of energy such as kerosene.
